[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6952064, member: 6775031"] In the game I ran, the Big Bad evil dragon that was prophesied to destroy the world... eventually... was using the Tarrasque as its sort of larval form while it gathered energy. When the PCs cracked it open to let out the energy, before it got too powerful, it took a form that was about 1000 miles across. Its ensuing battle, with the Big Good dragon that sealed it away in the first place, destroyed the moon and would have probably ended the world outright if the PCs decided to stick around and watch. When they actually [I]fought[/I] the thing, six thousand years in the past, it was only ~500 miles wide by ~200 miles thick. I statted it out into five sections, with the PCs attacking the head, and other groups of destined heroes from throughout future history attacking the wings and claws. Each square on the battle grid was 50 miles, and most of its attacks hit everyone in a square. The breath weapon and wings could attack in line and cone patterns respectively. It worked out pretty well. Edit: I guess it also counts, but they had an earlier encounter with the dread herald Icthultu, who was a writhing mass of kelp and tentacles that was only ~3 miles tall. That one was resolved without punching, by overloading the energy cannon on their airship, though hundreds of innocents were killed in the process. [/QUOTE]
